Cachoeira Veu da Noiva

Beautiful place to visit, path well marked with ropes to assist and trash bins to help keep the nature clean. Good also for a quick bath in the extremely cold water

Parque Nacional do Itatiaia

National park
Nature & Parks
Park
Itatiaia National Park, Brazil's first national park, boasts a diverse range of landscapes from dense rainforests to rugged peaks. The lower section offers accessible trails leading to waterfalls and natural swimming holes, while the remote high country provides excitement for serious hikers and climbers. Visitors can enjoy abundant flora and fauna including orchids, monkeys, and tropical birds. Accessing the upper portion may require a high-clearance vehicle due to challenging roads.
Wonderful national park at Itataia. It's possible to visit the park on foot, bike or by car. Visitors entering the park by car must pay an extra fee (around R$ 24,00) to take it's paved and non paved roads on a motored vehicle. The activities available at the park for visitors range from a beautiful cultural centre with many historical highlights, track trails in a rich forest terrain, magnificent waterfalls to admire and freshen up, numerous bird watching spots, and exuberant viewpoints of the Mantiqueira Mountain and it's wildlife. The difficulty of tracks may vary a lot. Upon entry on the park, visitors are given a detailed map, which shows what's possible to do whilst visiting the site. The park is basically divided into a lower and an upper part. The most demanding tracks, which are also those that one needs to plan in advance, are located in the upper part of park. In those areas, it's possible to camp on designated areas or stay for the night at one of the park's lodging houses (reservation in advance needed). In the park's website, there are lots of information for visitors, and high definition pdf maps for downloading, as well as a list of well trained guides on the park whenever the need arises. It's not possible to park in any spot by the road, the permitted parking areas will be sign posted. All around the park, it's possible to see restaurants, hotels and other private properties, which means there's no time available to do everything you'll find at the park. It's a highly recommended visit, and a place not to forget.

A completely different environment if you use the north west entrance. Warning the 12km road can be very bad. Warning 2: Arrive early the last entrance is around 2pm. You must leave the park by 5pm. This may change during they year so it is best to chemo in advance.

(Translated by Google) A place of preserved nature, with beautiful waterfalls and easy access, with Poço das Garrafas being the closest to the entrance. Perfect for swimming on hot summer days. I got to the parking lot in a normal car (not a 4x4). The road from S. José do Barreiro could be in better condition, but I've seen worse! Lol (Original) Lugar de natureza preservada, com cachoeiras lindas e acesso facilitado, sendo o Poço das Garrafas o mais próximo à portaria. Perfeito para banhos nos dias quentes de verão Cheguei até o estacionamento com carro normal (sem ser 4x4). Estrada a partir de S. José do Barreiro poderia estar em melhores condições, mas já vi piores! Rs

(Translated by Google) The place is well signposted until you reach the entrance, but on the day we went there was no one at the entrance. After a while of reading the signs to find out how to get to the Santo Izidro waterfall, a guy appeared with a clipboard, asked where we were going and gave us some instructions. If you enter and there is no one to give you information about the waterfall, just follow the trail and enter. Right in front of you there will be a sign with an arrow "Mambucaba trail of gold". Take this access and go along the river. (Original) O local é bem sinalizado até chegar a entrada, mas no dia que fomos não tinha ninguém na portaria, depois de um tempo que ficamos lendo as placas pra saber como chegar na cachoeira Santo Izidro, apareceu um rapaz com uma prancheta, perguntou onde íamos e passou algumas instruções. Se alguém entrar e não tiver alguém para passar informações sobre a cachoeira é só seguir a trilha e entrar, logo a frente terá uma placa com seta "Mambucaba trilha do ouro" pega esse acesso e vai beirando ao Rio.

(Translated by Google) Created in the 1970s, the preservation area covers one hundred thousand hectares between the Mantiqueira and Mar mountain ranges, with 60% of the territory in Rio de Janeiro (Parati and Angra dos Reis) and 40% in São Paulo (Areias, Cunha, São José do Barreiro and Ubatuba). Throughout the area, the beauty of the flora and fauna typical of the Atlantic Forest is striking. There are orchids, bromeliads, jequitibás and fig trees sharing the landscape with toucans, tapirs, agoutis, sloths and deer, among other native species. The mountain range also holds other pleasant surprises, such as waterfalls with drops reaching one hundred meters in height; peaks over two thousand meters in altitude that reveal hills and the sea; and the Trilha do Ouro, a 40-kilometer trail that ends at the beach. The park can be explored on foot, by bicycle, motorcycle or car - however, to enter with motorized vehicles you need authorization from Ibama. Activities vary according to the visitor's physical fitness - options range from light 40-minute walks to three-day treks, requiring overnight stays in settlers' houses or wild campsites. By Férias Brasil Editor (Original) Criado na década de 70, a área de preservação soma cem mil hectares entre as serras da Mantiqueira e do Mar, com 60% do território no Rio de Janeiro (Parati e Angra dos Reis) e 40% em São Paulo (Areias, Cunha, São José do Barreiro e Ubatuba). Por toda a área chamam a atenção as belezas da flora e da fauna típicas da Mata Atlântica. São orquídeas, bromélias, jequitibás e figueiras dividindo o cenário com tucanos, antas, cutias, preguiças e veados, entre outras espécies nativas. A serra reserva ainda outras agradáveis surpresas, como as cachoeiras com quedas que chegam a cem metros de altura; picos com mais de dois mil metros de altitude que descortinam morros e mar; e a Trilha do Ouro, um caminho de 40 quilômetros que termina na praia. O parque pode ser explorado a pé, de bicicleta, moto ou carro - porém, para entrar com os veículos motorizados é preciso autorização do Ibama. As atividades variam de acordo com o preparo físico do visitante - as opções vão de caminhadas leves com 40 minutos de duração à travessias que consomem três dias, exigindo pernoites em casas de colonos ou em campings selvagens.

Museu de Maquetes da Nossa História

Museum
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Museu de Maquetes da Nossa História is a museum that showcases scaled models depicting our rich history. This institution exhibits a wide array of miniature replicas illustrating significant events, landmarks, and cultural aspects of the past. The collection within this establishment provides visitors with an immersive experience into the diverse heritage we possess. Through intricate dioramas and meticulous craftsmanship, the museum offers an educational and visually captivating journey into our collective narrative.
(Translated by Google) It was all very good, I just think there needs to be some support from the city hall to improve the staff's conditions. (Original) Foi tudo muito bom, so acho que falta algum apoio da prefeitura para melhorar as condições do pessoal

(Translated by Google) A pleasant space with several rooms with models that recall some important events in our history. There are also many objects and weapons used in the battle of the 1932 revolution. (Original) Espaço agradável com várias salas com maquetes que relembram alguns fatos marcantes de nossa história. Também há muitos objetos e armas utilizadas na batalha da revolução de 32.
Reynaldo M — Google review
(Translated by Google) The work done with the models is sensational! Very meticulous and detailed. However, I believe that because there are so many models, the tour with high school students is too quick! They quickly and mechanically tell the stories portrayed in the works, leaving us no time to contemplate them. We must value youth in this type of work, but it seems like there's a lack of better supervision (as well as financial resources—they accept donations). It's worth checking out. (Original) O trabalho feito com a maquetes é sensacional! Muito minucioso e detalhado. Mas, acredito que por terem muitas maquetes, o tour com jovens do ensino médio é muito rápido! Eles contam rápida e mecanicamente sobre as histórias retratadas nos trabalhos que não nos dá tempo de contemplar os trabalhos. Temos que valorizar a juventude neste tipo de trabalho, mas parece que falta uma monitoria melhor (além de recursos financeiros - aceitam doações). Vale prestigiar.
Angelo P — Google review
(Translated by Google) A somewhat hidden place near the Passa Quatro station, but worth a visit. The tour is guided by monitors who explain the history of each model on display. There are several rooms with models and objects from various historical periods such as the 1932 revolution, the Farrapos War and imperial history. There is no entrance fee, they only ask for a donation to keep the place running. (Original) Lugar um pouco escondido próximo a estação de passa quatro, mas que vale a visita. A visita é guiada por monitores que explicam a história de cada maquete exposta. São várias salas com maquetes e objetos de várias épocas históricas tais como a revolução de 1932, guerra dos Farrapos e história imperial. Não é cobrada a entrada somente pedem uma doação para manter o local funcionando.

(Translated by Google) The miniature museum is a project where the city's young people have the opportunity to get a "first job", so to speak. All the attractions/areas are presented by them, and the models are also made by the boys and girls involved in the project. The museum presents facts from the 1932 revolution and other historical attractions in Brazil. The models are representations of national historical facts. As mentioned, the entire presentation is made by the young people involved in the project. Each one is responsible for presenting a wing/sector of the museum. Admission is free, and a donation is accepted at the end of the visit, all with the aim of helping the young people who participate in the project. A wonderful project. (Original) O museu de miniaturas é um projeto onde os jovens da cidade tem a oportunidade de um “primeiro emprego “ digamos assim, todas as atrações/áreas, são apresentadas por eles, as maquetes também são feitas pelos meninos e meninas do projeto, o museu apresenta fatos da revolução de 32 e outros atrativos históricos do Brasil, as maquetes são representações de fatos históricos nacionais. Como mencionado toda a apresentação é feita pelos jovens do projeto, cada um é responsável por apresentar uma ala/setor do museu, a entrada é gratuita ficando a critério uma doação no final da visita, tudo no intuito de ajudar os jovens participantes do mesmo. Um projeto maravilhoso.

(Translated by Google) A BEAUTIFUL museum, it's a shame that it's without incentives, without help, and is deteriorating. It's a real shame. A beautiful place. Perfect models, with lots of details. Spectacular replicas of houses from different eras and places. What upset me the most was knowing that it will be closed next month due to lack of help from the city government. Our leaders are very stupid. We have to encourage our culture as much as possible. (Original) Um LINDO museu, pena que esta sem incentivo, sem ajuda, se degradando. Muita pena mesmo. Local lindo. Maquetes perfeitas, com muitos detalhes. Replicas de casas espetaculares, de varias épocas e locais. O que mais me chateou foi saber que a partir do mês que vem, será fechado por falta de ajuda da prefeitura. Nossos governantes são muito estúpidos. Temos que incentivar ao máximo a nossa cultura.

Young people, in the most beautiful example of citizenship, explain and walk through the museum rooms showing incredible works of art in the models.

Trem da Serra da Mantiqueira

Train station
Transportation
Railways
Embark on a delightful journey aboard the Trem da Serra da Mantiqueira, located in the charming city of Passa Quatro, MG. This scenic train ride is pulled by the iconic steam locomotive Maria Fume and offers a round trip lasting about two hours. Along the way, you'll encounter breathtaking landscapes perfect for capturing memorable photos.
(Translated by Google) The Serra Train is a steam train operated by ABPF - Brazilian Association for Railway Preservation and is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Passa Quatro. The route is approximately 10 km long and the train departs from Passa Quatro station to Coronel Fulgêncio station, at the top of Serra da Mantiqueira, every Saturday and Sunday and on some holidays, also on Friday. Some stories are told along the way, as well as a singer with voice and guitar interprets classics of MPB and sertanejo music. The train makes its first stop at Manacá station, where the steam is increased for the ascent of the mountain and tourists can visit to buy handicrafts, sweets, honey and other treats. The end of the route is at Coronel Fulgêncio station, where passengers can see a photo exhibition telling a little about JK, who before becoming a politician was a captain in the Minas Gerais Military Police and treated many people injured in the fighting between the people of Minas Gerais and São Paulo during the 1932 revolution. Many photos of this movement can be found at this station, which is very close to the Mantiqueira Tunnel, on the border between the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, and the scene of the biggest battles of the 1932 revolution, in which the people of Minas Gerais emerged as the big winners. The entrance fee is relatively expensive, R$90.00 per person, and it is best to book in advance. (Original) O Trem da Serra é uma Maria Fumaça de passageiros operado pela ABPF - Associação Brasileira de Preservação Ferroviária é uma atração imperdível para quem visita Passa Quatro. O percurso é cerca de 10 km e o trem parte da estação de Passa Quatro com destino à estação Coronel Fulgêncio, no alto da Serra da Mantiqueira, todo sábado e domingo e em alguns feriados, também na sexta-feira. Algumas histórias são contadas durante o percurso, assim como um cantor voz e violão interpreta clássicos da MPB e do sertanejo. O trem tem a primeira parada na estação Manacá, onde se aumenta o vapor para a subida da serra e os turistas podem visitar para adquirir produtos de artesanato, doces, mel e outras guloseimas. O final do percurso é na estação Coronel Fulgêncio, onde os passageiros podem conhecer uma exposição fotográfica contando um pouco de JK que antes de se tornar político, era médico capitão da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais e tratou de muitos feridos nos combates entre mineiros e paulistas durante a revolução de 1932. Muitas fotos desse movimento se encontram nessa estação que fica bem perto do Túnel da Mantiqueira, divisa dos estados de Minas e São Paulo, palco dos maiores combates do movimento da revolução de 1932, em que os mineiros se saíram como grandes vencedores. O ingresso e é relativamente caro, R$ 90,00 por pessoa e o ideal é fazer reserva antecipada.

(Translated by Google) A great family outing, a very worthwhile experience for those who like to relive a bit of Brazilian history, a trip back in time to understand what life was like in the old days... The Maria Fumaça train is very well maintained, with a ramp for wheelchair access. The bathroom at one of the stations is very popular because it is tiny. In my opinion, the price could be a little more affordable to attract more passengers. We went as a family, 7 people, and since it was January (promotion) we paid half the price, 90 reais per person... (half price, according to the employee) (Original) Bom passeio em família, experiência muito válida para quem gosta de resgatar um pouco da história do Brasil, uma viagem no tempo para entender como já foi a vida a moda antiga …A Maria fumaça é muito bem cuidada, possuem rampa para acessibilidade a cadeirantes. Em uma das estações o banheiro é bem disputado por ser minúsculo. O preço, ao meu ver, poderia ser um pouco mais acessível para atrair mais passageiros. Fomos em família, 7 pessoas, por ser janeiro (promoção) pagamos metade da passagem, 90 reais por pessoa… (meia tarifa, segundo a funcionária)

(Translated by Google) It's a journey through time, lasting 2 hours. The train travels a short distance until it reaches the tunnel where the people of São Paulo and Minas Gerais clashed in the constitutionalist revolution of 1932. On the journey, there is a stop at the Manacá station to buy local products and live music on the train to liven things up. It's a program for those who like to get to know small towns and history. (Original) É uma viagem no tempo, com duração de 2 horas, o trem percorre um pequeno trecho chegando ao túnel onde houve o embate de paulistas e mineiros na revolução constitucionalista de 1932. Na viagem tem uma parada na estação manacá para compra de produtos locais e no trem música ao vivo para animar. É um programa para quem gosta de conhecer cidades pequenas e história.

(Translated by Google) The ride is very pleasant and relaxing. Along the way, there are several beautiful landscapes to take photos of. This time, I paid R$75.00 per person, but the regular price is R$150.00. At both stops, there are crafts and some drink and snack options. I took the ride at 10:00 am on Carnival Monday. I highly recommend this and other train rides! (Original) O passeio é bem gostoso e tranquilo de fazer. No caminho há várias paisagens lindas para tirar fotos. Nesta oportunidade paguei R$ 75,00 por pessoa, mas o preço normal é de R$ 150,00. Nas 2 paradas há artesanato e algumas opções de bebidas e comidas rápidas. Fiz no horário das 10hs na segunda-feira de Carnaval. Recomendo muito este e outros passeios de trem!

(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist facilities in the city of Passa Quatro/MG. Ticket booths are located in two carriages pulled by a steam locomotive, the well-known Maria Fume. The journey takes about 2 hours, round trip, with stops at two stations: Manaca, where there is delicious popcorn from Fernando and Coronel Fulgencio, the last station, with a good bathroom. From this point, walk about 200 meters to the MMDC tunnel, on the border with SP, a true history lesson. Price of the tour on 23 March 24, 90 reais. Cards and cash accepted. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays, departing at 10 am and 2:30 pm. It also operates on holidays. I recommend arriving half an hour early to buy tickets, as there is a high demand for passengers. (Original) Excelente equipamento de turismo da cidade de passa quatro/MG. Bilheteiros caracterizados no dois vagões tracionados por uma locomotiva a vapor, a conhecida Maria fumaça. O trajeto leva cerca de 2 horas , idade e volta, com parada em duas estações Manaca, onde há a deliciosa pipoca do Fernando e coronel fulgencio , última estação, contando com Bom banheiro. A partir desse ponto caminha se cerca de 200 metros até o túnel mmdc, divisa com sp, uma verdadeira aula de história. Preço do passeio em 23mar24, 90 reais. Aceita se cartões e dinheiro. Funciona de sábado e domingo com saídas às 10 h e 14h30. Bem como feriados. Recomendo chegar uma meia hora antes para compra de ingressos, a demanda de passageiros é grande.

(Translated by Google) Here is a piece of Brazil's railway history, preserved and serving to pass on the story to future generations. This spectacular ride certainly needs some improvements, but that doesn't detract from the tour in any way. On the contrary, it's worth highlighting the work of these people in keeping part of our history alive! The ride takes about 2 hours round trip, leaving from the city of Passa Quatro to the tunnel that borders the state of São Paulo, which is also an important piece of Brazilian history. Children love the ride on the train pulled by a steam locomotive (the famous Maria Fumaça). I recommend buying tickets in advance, as they always sell out, as they only run on weekends! (Original) Está aqui um pedaço da história ferroviária do Brasil, preservado e servindo para passar a história para as próximas gerações, passeio espetacular que com certeza precisa de uma ou outra melhora mas que não desmerece em nada o passeio, pelo contrário vale aqui ressaltar o trabalho dessas pessoas em manter viva parte da nossa história! O passeio leva cerca de 2 horas ia e volta, saindo da cidade de Passa Quatro até o túnel que faz divisa com o estado de São Paulo, ali também um pedaço importante da história do Brasil. As crianças adoram o passeio no trem puxado por uma locomotiva a vapor (famosa Maria Fumaça), recomendo comprar ingressos com antecedência pois sempre se esgotam já que só funciona ais finais de semana!

(Translated by Google) An experience that is definitely worth it! You can buy tickets online, or you can make a reservation by WhatsApp/phone, which are listed on the website. There are parking spaces around the station with easy access. After booking, you need to go to the ticket office at the station and pick up your ticket, which is very nice. Payment methods accepted at the ticket office: Cash/credit and debit cards. There are clean bathrooms at the station! My family and I went on Sunday, boarding at 10 am. When boarding, the super polite and charismatic employees tell you about what the tour will be like, as well as the stations where they stop, which are Manacá and Coronel Fulgêncio. Along the way, they tell you interesting facts about the tour and there is a singer who livens up the entire route, who sings very well and entertains the crowd! At the stops, there are bathrooms and stalls selling sweets, drinks, and crafts. At the last station, Coronel Fulgêncio, the guide takes us to the stage of the revolution, the tunnel that connects the cities of Passa Quatro and Cruzeiro. To get to the tunnel, we walk a few meters. I recommend wearing warm clothing and comfortable shoes! Finally, the train makes its turn and we return to the station. Throughout the ride, we are privileged by a beautiful view and lots of nature!!! I recommend the ride. (Original) Experiência que vale a pena sem dúvida alguma! A compra dos tickets pode ser feita pelo site, ou pode ser feito uma reserva pelo WhatsApp/Telefone que constam no site. Ao redor da estação, há vagas para estacionamento com fácil acesso. Após a reserva, é necessário, na estação, passar na bilheteria e retirar o ticket que é muito bonito. Métodos de pagamento aceito na bilheteria: Dinheiro/Cartões crédito e débito. Na estação há banheiros limpos! Eu e minha família fomos no domingo, embarcamos às 10h. No embarque, os funcionários que são super educados e carismáticos contam sobre como será o passeio, além das estações que param, sendo Manacá e Coronel Fulgêncio. No trajeto, contam curiosidades sobre o passeio e há um cantor que anima todo o trajeto, canta muito bem e anima o pessoal! Nas paradas há banheiro e barraquinhas que vendem doces, bebidas, artesanato. Na última estação, Coronel Fulgêncio, a guia nos leva ao palco da revolução, o túnel que liga a cidade de Passa Quatro e Cruzeiro, para chegar ao túnel, caminhamos alguns metros, recomendo uso de roupa de frio e calçado confortável! Por fim, o trem faz a manobra e voltamos para a estação. Durante todo o passeio, somos privilegiados por uma bela vista e muita natureza!!! Recomendo o passeio.

(Translated by Google) Sensational. A trip back in time, complete with an accordion player. The train takes us back to the city's past, the origin of its name, and the history of the railway. Very well maintained, it features a shiny and noisy locomotive, 🚂 blowing its whistle at every level crossing. (Original) Sensacional. Uma volta no tempo, com direito a sanfoneiro. O trem permite que viajemos ao passado da cidade, origem do nome e história da ferrovia. Muito bem conservado, possui uma locomotiva 🚂 brilhante e barulhenta, apitando a cada passagem de nível.

JCM — Google review
(Translated by Google) NOT WORTH THE EXPERIENCE! The physical space is beautiful, German style, inviting! It's strange that it's constantly empty. I soon discovered the reason: expensive and unseasoned food! (R$99.00 = rice, fries, steak - 2 people) *doesn't serve 1 person. ABSURD!!!! Burnt filet mignon steak, reheated rice, fries covered in oil, beans on the side (R$20.00) overly seasoned. I couldn't eat it! We ask for sparkling water, THERE IS NONE! We ask for Coca-Cola Zero, WE ONLY GET TWO! We ask to sit in the dining room, WE ONLY SERVE ON THE BALCONY! We ask for filet parmigiana, WE ONLY HAVE THAT DISH (THAT'S THE NAME), BECAUSE WE CLOSED AT 2PM! (*Saturday 12:45) Result: I paid a lot and went home angry and hungry. An experience I wish I had avoided. 1 star is still too much for the place. (Original) NÃO VALE A EXPERIÊNCIA! O espaço físico é bonito, estilo alemão, convidativo! Estranho estar constantemente vazio. Logo descobri o motivo: comida cara e sem tempero! (R$ 99,00 = arroz, batata frita, bife - 2 pessoas) *não serve 1 pessoa. ABSURDO!!!! Bife de filé mignon esturricado, arroz requentado, batata frita lotada de óleo, feijão à parte (R$ 20,00) exagerado no condimento. Não consegui comer! Pede-se água com gás, NÃO TEM! Pede-se coca-cola zero, SÓ TEMOS DUAS! Pede-se sentar no salão, SÓ ATENDEMOS NA VARANDA! Pede-se filé a parmegiana, SÓ TEMOS O PRATO (TAL), POIS ENCERRAMOS AS 14H! (*sábado 12:45) Resultado: paguei caro e fui pra casa com raiva e com fome. Uma experiência que eu gostaria de ter evitado. 1 estrela ainda é muito para o local.

(Translated by Google) Terrible! The place is a brewery with an attached factory. We are beer lovers and we went to Gonçalves/MG to try the beer. Guess what??? THERE IS NO BEER! Nothing on tap. There wasn't a single bottle. The attendant, embarrassed, said that "no one has produced any for a long time". Disgraceful! (Original) Péssimo! O lugar é uma cervejaria com fabrica anexa. Somos cervejeiros e saímos se Gonçalves/MG para conhecer a cerveja. Adivinha??? NÃO TEM CERVEJA! Nada na torneira. Não tinha uma única garrafa.

(Translated by Google) I came to the brewery with my family after seeing the place advertised on the road. The experience was regrettable. The restaurant wasn't full, but the dishes took a long time to arrive at all the tables. In addition, there was a problem with the brewery and there was no Pilsen draft beer. After a long time, the food arrived and fortunately it was delicious. The restaurant has fewer waiters than it needs, both in the service and in the kitchen. The waiters are clearly trying their best to serve the customers, but they can't work miracles! Please improve. (Original) Vim com a família na cervejaria depois de ver o anúncio do lugar na estrada. A experiência foi lamentável. O restaurante não estava cheio, porém os pratos demoraram muito tempo para chegar em todas as mesas. Além disso, deu algum problema na choperia e não tinha chopp Pilsen. Depois de muito tempo a comida chegou e felizmente estava saborosa. O restaurante está com menos atendentes do que precisaria, tanto no serviço como na cozinha. Visivelmente os garçons estão tentando fazer o possível para atender os clientes, mas não dá pra fazer milagres! Por favor, melhorem

(Translated by Google) Terrible experience!!! We waited two hours to eat, two waiters just to serve, with no one managing, they try hard to serve, but they are lost. It is a brewery without beer, which takes a long time to serve. They couldn't even serve the soft drinks we ordered. And there were several people at the table and each dish was served separately, the rice came and then the meat, the meat came and they forgot the side dishes. Anyway... Regrettable!!! (Original) Péssima experiência!!! Ficamos duas horas para comer, dois garçons somente para atender, sem ninguém gerenciando, se esforçam para atender, mas ficam perdidos. É uma cervejaria sem cerveja, que demora para servir. Nem os refrigerantes que pedimos conseguiram servir. E éramos várias pessoas na mesa e cada prato era servido separadamente, vindo o arroz e depois a carne, vindo a carne e esquecendo os acompanhamentos. Enfim…. Lamentável!!!

The Basílica Histórica de Nossa Senhora Aparecida is a welcoming place for pets, as visitors are surprised by how well-behaved they are. It's possible to attend mass with your furry friends without any issues. When visiting, it's recommended to sit closer to the door and in the back rows to manage any barking. The architecture of the basilica is stunning, although some visitors were unable to enter due to closure.

The parish priest tried to prevent a large flock of faithful to pray the Holy Rosary in front of the church. This had been announced days in advance. Instead he purposely rang all of the church bells, to make so much noise that nobody could understand a word - it was a wonderful experience to pray the Holy Rosary under such circumstance, against the orders of the pastor! *Shame on this parish pastor!*

Mountain cable car

Air Bontur cable cars provide a convenient and comfortable way to reach Cruzeiro Hill, a place of meditation in the Stations of the Cross. The individual and air-conditioned cable cars offer fantastic views of Aparecida and the Sanctuary. Visitors highly recommend this organized and safe experience, praising its efficiency and privacy. While some feel that prices could be more accessible, many still find it to be an excellent attraction at the Sanctuary for a unique ride on the cable car.

(Translated by Google) The cable car is an attraction that's truly worth a visit in Aparecida. Safe, well-maintained, and with excellent facilities, it connects the National Sanctuary to the Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro viewpoint, providing a peaceful and pleasant ride. During the journey, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Basilica, the city, and the surrounding landscapes. The structure inspires confidence, and the route is an excellent way to contemplate Aparecida from a new perspective, combining faith, nature, and a very beautiful visual experience. (Original) O Bondinho Aéreo é uma atração que realmente vale a visita em Aparecida. Seguro, bem cuidado e com ótima estrutura, ele liga o Santuário Nacional ao Mirante do Morro do Cruzeiro, proporcionando um passeio tranquilo e agradável.

A estrutura transmite confiança, e o percurso é uma excelente forma de contemplar Aparecida de um novo ângulo, unindo fé, natureza e uma experiência visual muito bonita.

(Translated by Google) The Room of Promises at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida is a place of deep emotion and spiritual significance. Decorated with thousands of objects left by the faithful in fulfillment of promises and in gratitude for the graces received, the room is a tangible testimony to the faith and devotion that permeate this sacred place. Each item displayed there tells a story of faith, devotion and hope, representing the desires and graces received by the devotees. Upon entering this space, visitors are enveloped by an atmosphere of gratitude and humility, reinforcing the importance of spirituality in their lives. The Room of Promises is, therefore, a meeting place between the sacred and the human, where individual stories are intertwined in a tapestry of faith and devotion to Our Lady of Aparecida. (Original) A Sala das Promessas no Santuário de Nossa Senhora Aparecida é um lugar de profunda emotividade e significado espiritual. Decorada com milhares de objetos deixados pelos fiéis em cumprimento de promessas e em agradecimento às graças recebidas, a sala é um testemunho tangível da fé e da devoção que permeiam esse local sagrado. Cada item ali exposto conta uma história de fé, devoção e esperança, representando os desejos e as graças alcançadas pelos devotos. Ao adentrar nesse espaço, os visitantes são envolvidos por uma atmosfera de gratidão e humildade, reforçando a importância da espiritualidade em suas vidas. A Sala das Promessas é, portanto, um lugar de encontro entre o sagrado e o humano, onde as histórias individuais se entrelaçam em uma tapeçaria de fé e devoção à Nossa Senhora Aparecida.

Perfect to buy gifts and there more attractions outside the Basilica as well. The entire city is filled with attractions and even the cities nearby.

A nice park to walk around. There are several short hikes. We really enjoyed Trilha dos campos (3km), which takes you up to good views and also winds along the river for a stretch.

It is possible to access by bus or uber and you do have to pay to enter.

Beautiful view in a place that could get potential to be better. We climbed to the elephant's hill using the scared cable car, I believe its was created with the city and never modernized. My husband, who is Canadian, liked the experience more than I did. He was scared but he found excited at the same time. I think that because I have already been to Campos do Jordão several times, I think at this point the city, which seems to be very rich looking at the hotels in the area and people who frequent it, should have already renovated that a long time ago and have made something much better and more attractive, as the other countries that have mountains for Ski. I think don’t need to be exactly the same, but Mount Tremblant in Quebec also has a small area up hill and its not so fancy, but little more attractive and safe. Anyway, the view is very beautiful and we can see the whole city, mountains and part of the other surrounding regions. When we get up there again, the attractions could be much more elaborate and modernized giving opportunity to locals to get better jobs, show a nicer view and give to the city, locals and visitors a better structure. I think the place with elephants is a good idea, especially for children, but they could modernize it and charge a little for the entrance to maintain the place. They also could make a kind of a little mall where people could expose their crafts making their products more attractive and a nice cafe or restaurant with a lookout ... Anyway, use a little of the American style of exposing your business, which could be better for everybody. If I had money to invest, that unfortunately is not the case at the moment, I would probably organize people and get that changed for the benefit of all city and visitors. Grade: Eli = 3, Serge = 3 Recommend: It’s worth for the Mountain View.

It’s the centre of attraction of the city, a very lovely place with different activities that you can engage in. Feel free to go there to take pictures even if you can’t afford to pay for boat rides & other activities there. It’s very close to capivari where you can eat and take different pictures with their colour full backgrounds

Very nice place and the first you have to visit in Campos do Jordão. Try the beers that are sold near the bathrooms and the delicious churros. Take the ferry for a great view.

It's a family friendly place, but very touristy. Meaning things area expensive and mass target. Nevertheless it's a great place for little kids to run around and enjoy themselves while grownups enjoy a craft (but little expensive) beer.

Main square of Campos do Jordão city. There you will find hotels, restaurants, bars, ice cream parlor, handcrafted chocolates, clothing shops and warehouses that sells wines, beers and kinds of canned food. In the winter season there is the winter festival on the main square. In this occasion orchestras and shows are being presented to the visitors.

Ducha de Prata

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Ducha de Prata is a popular tourist spot in Campos do Jordao, featuring man-made waterfalls and showers accessible via wooden decks. The water supply comes directly from the natural waterfalls of Ribeirao de Perdizes. Visitors can stroll along the wooden bridges, listen to the soothing sounds of the waterfall, and explore nearby souvenir stalls offering various items such as clothing, chocolates, and crafts.
Another tourist attraction in Campos de Jordão and one of the best for sure. A small waterfall with walking areas and platforms designed to get the best picture possible. Lots of small shops and restaurants around as well as tourism buses departing and arriving here. On the low side there is lack of toilets, so if you have the urge, you need to use one of the tiny ones located within the restaurants around.

Nice place to visit. Destination for a lot of tour buses, so it was pretty busy when we were there. Lots of shops selling the usual tourist fare. The water was pretty and interesting. We did not find any actual trails to hike, which would have been nice and would have gotten us away from the crowds. There is parking but it was pretty full when we were there.

Boa Vista Palace, a former governor's residence in winter, now serves as a museum showcasing historical objects and art alongside contemporary works. The palace offers guided tours on specific days, so it's recommended to book in advance. Built in the European style, the palace boasts a vast area worth exploring. On weekends, it attracts many visitors with highly knowledgeable guides sharing its history and significance within the state government.
It's a wonderful building. You can see art and building from different times, from 18th century chests to nowadays paintings. The place is a must go to any lover of art or/and history. Outside the building there's a garden which is the only place you can take pictures of, and it's very beautiful too.

Watch out for the timing. The place is mostly closed and has a restricted entrance up to 30 people every 30 minutes. It closes if there's rain or the street is wet. It's very hard to coordinate.

Nice the palace is like a French chatu of the 17th century is a copy I would say but the system is not very efficient to take visits as you have to go in person should be via internet like all other places in the town are this makes it difficult to visit and becomes a poor quality service and poor efficiency in today's days.

It's an easy stroll through the park, and there's even a maze to navigate through. There are various plants to see and coy fish in the ponds. And there's a tree house you can visit. You only need 1-2 hours total to see everything. The employees were nice, but it may be difficult to find someone that speaks English.

Highly recommend Amantikir Park; it is a must see if you are in the area.

It's a small collection of artifacts from the history of Brazil's aerospace industry - from models of rockets and Santos Dumont's childhood home, through components of aircraft and right up to a few full size examples.

Vale Sul Shopping is the largest and most diverse shopping center in Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil. It offers a wide range of designer stores, boutiques, restaurants, and a cinema. The mall features various brand outlets and segments along with health facilities and a gas station. While it may not be the most budget-friendly for international visitors due to higher prices compared to the U.S., it's still an enjoyable place to explore without making big purchases.

Nassim D — Google review
I'm a tourist from the U.S and one of my favorite things to do is to see the difference between malls in different countries. Let's just say Brazilian malls are one of my new favorites. I wasn't there to buy anything so I enjoyed just looking around, however, if you were going to buy something it's not very cheap. Example: a Maybelline mascara costs 80 Reais which, for an American, would be $20.00. I would economize, look around, and maybe buy something small, but don't go there for a shopping spree. The food court is great with several options, but, again, the prices and portions are wild for me as a foreigner. Overall, the mall is pretty and clean and I would come here again just to see the different stores.
Larissa M — Google review
A not so huge space. A congested environment during weekend. Just like other malls the ambience is the same and restaurants as usual are crowded. No English speaking guide and Walmart in it is the added advantage. Walmart is not so big as we normally see but a good place for a one stop shop
Ansari S — Google review
I only didn't give it a 5 star because of it's Pet Policy. Like in many other malls in Brazil pets are allowed in, but in this one you have to carry them on your lap. It is also forbidden to leave your pet at the entrance like many other places allow you to. So, if your pet is a lil fatty like mine, choose a different place to go to. Appart from that, very best mall in town.

Daniel B — Google review
(Translated by Google) Excellent for admiring the horizon and the landscape in general. However, considering the profile of São José dos Campos, it should be revitalized, taking advantage of the slope of the land, expanding the tiny deck, and building an attached grandstand with the same wooden profile as the deck, offering comfort to those who appreciate this view. Since it would be a hidden location, it would be necessary to install a security camera, ensuring not only security but also order, preventing crime and undesirable behavior from inconvenient people. The City Hall could authorize the construction of a coffee shop/snack bar next to the deck, with public restrooms (paid), separate for men and women. The responsibility for cleaning and maintenance would be outsourced to a third party. Besides the revenue for the merchant, it would offer convenience to deck users who want to enjoy the landscape for longer. (Original) Excelente para contemplar o horizonte e paisagem em geral. Mas para o perfil de São José dos Campos, deveria ser revitalizado, aproveitando a inclinação do terreno, ampliando o minúsculo Deck, construindo em anexo, uma *arquibancada com o mesmo perfil de madeira do Deck, oferecendo conforto aos apreciadores dessa paisagem. *como ficaria um local escondido, seria necessário a instalação de câmera de segurança, garantindo, além de segurança, ordem, evitando crimes e comportamentos indesejáveis pessoas inconvenientes... A Prefeitura, poderia conceder a construção de uma Cafeteira/Lanchonete, ao lado, do Deck, com banheiros públicos (pago), distintos para homem e mulher. Onde a responsabilidade de limpeza e manutenção, seria do terceirizado. Além da renda para o comerciante, ofereceria conveniência para usuários do Deck, que queiram contemplar a paisagem, por mais tempo...

(Translated by Google) We went to see the Smoke Squadron perform. I parked the car far away because I was sure it would be chaos and the road would be closed. We walked along Anchieta Avenue and I was enchanted by the bike path and the scooters that we could rent through an APP. There were a lot of military personnel there because of the event and the municipal guard did a great job too. The place is ideal for families and couples in love because it has a wonderful view and very chic bars and restaurants. (Original) Fomos ver apresentação da Esquadrilha da Fumaça, parei o carro longe pois tinha certeza que lá estaria um caos e a via interditada, andamos na avenida Anchieta e fiquei encantada com a ciclovia, com os patinetes que podemos alugar por APP, tinha bastante militares no local por conta do evento e a guarda municipal fez bonito também.

Luisa S — Google review
(Translated by Google) The Pico da Pedra Partida is the second highest peak in the Monte Verde region and has a beautiful view of much of the Paraíba Valley. The access trail has signs and red ribbons on some trees along the way, especially in places where there might be some doubt. It took us 1 hour to climb the 900m to the top. And on the way back it took us only 40 minutes. At the top there is a sign indicating the altitude and the name, great for photos. The downside is that access is restricted by MOVE, which charges R$35.90 per person. This amount could easily be used for a "single pass" with access to the 5 peaks in the region. This would both attract more tourists and raise the funds needed to improve and preserve the site. (Original) O Pico da Pedra Partida é o segundo mais alto da região de Monte Verde e tem uma vista muito linda de boa parte do Vale do Paraíba. A trilha de acesso possui placas indicativas e fitas vermelhas em algumas árvores ao longo do caminho, especialmente nos locais que podem gerar alguma dúvida. Levamos 1h para subir os cerca de 900mt até o topo. E na volta gastamos apenas 40 min. No topo há uma placa indicando a altitude e o nome, ótima para foto. O senão é o acesso restrito pela MOVE que cobra R$35,90/pessoa. Esse valor poderia muito bem servir para um "passe único" com acesso aos 5 picos da região. O que tanto atrairia mais turistas quanto captaria os recursos necessários às melhorias e conservação do local.

(Translated by Google) The scenery is wonderful and worth the effort. The trail is not well marked, but it is possible to follow the path. If you are not physically fit, the trail takes about 2 to 2.5 hours (don't rush to get there) and has complicated and slippery sections. The trail has 2 viewpoints (close to the final destination). Bring good shoes, water, a shirt and long pants. I recommend leaving in the morning, preferably before 9 am, to avoid the midday sun at the top of the split rock. (Original) Paisagem maravilhosa e vale o esforço. A trilha não é bem sinalizada mas é possível seguir o caminho. Se você não tem preparo físico a trilha leva por volta de 2h - 2h30 (não tenha pressa de chegar) e possui trechos complicados e escorregadios. A trilha possui 2 mirantes (próximos ao destino final). Vá com um calçado bom, água, uma blusa e calça comprida. Recomendo sair de manhã, preferencialmente antes das 9, para evitar o sol do meio dia no topo da pedra partida.

(Translated by Google) This trail is a little more difficult than Pedra Rodada, which has stairs and is very short! I don't recommend doing this trail if you have mobility problems, because at times you'll need a little physical strength to get through certain steep and narrow spots... The trail is well marked and not very well marked, with signs at some points and two really cool viewpoints along the way, to recharge your batteries and admire nature! It's possible to get there without any major problems, because during the holiday season, there are always people going to or coming back from the same place as you... If possible, choose to do this trail while there's daylight and good weather, because it's a 40 to 50 minute walk from the fork that separates the Pedra Rodada/Ronda trails. Unmissable! People who give this trail a bad review must not be physically fit and/or may have gone alone... From Pedra Rodada, the second highest point in the region, you can see Pedra Rodada, which was FULL the day I visited! (Original) Trilha com grau de dificuldade pouco mais elevado que a pedra redonda, que tem escadas e é bem curta! Não recomendo fazer essa trilha, se tiver algum problema de mobilidade, pois em alguns momentos é necessário pouco de força física para passar por determinados pontos íngremes e estreitos... A trilha está bem demarcada e pouco sinalizada, com placas em alguns pontos e dois mirantes bem legais no caminho, para reabastecer a energia e contemplar a natureza! É possível chegar sem grandes problemas, pois em temporada de férias, sempre existem pessoas indo ou voltando para o mesmo local que você... Se possível, opte por fazer essa trilha enquanto há luz do dia e com tempo firme, pois são 40 a 50 minutos à partir da bifurcação que separa as trilhas da pedra partida/redonda. Imperdivel! As pessoas que avaliam mal essa trilha, não devem ter preparo físico nenhum e/ou podem ter ido sozinhas... Da pedra partida, segunda mais alta da região, você consegue ver a pedra redonda que estava LOTADA no dia em que visitei!

Trilha da Pedra Redonda

Hiking Trails
Trilha da Pedra Redonda is a relatively easy hiking trail that starts at the end of Av. das Montanhas or can be reached from the Plato trail. It takes about an hour to complete and offers a tranquil experience through lush greenery. The trail leads to a 1990m rounded peak, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Hikers are advised to wear comfortable clothes and sneakers, bring water, and apply sunscreen due to windy conditions on the rocks and intense sun exposure.

(Translated by Google) Great trail, relatively easy and very rewarding. The view at the end is stunning, and we were lucky to go on a day when the Minas Gerais side was clear and the São Paulo side was very foggy—simply incredible. Note that you need to purchase your ticket online, and there are fixed entry times. (Original) Ótima trilha, relativamente fácil e muito proveitosa. A vista no final é muito boa, e tivemos sorte de ir num dia onde o lado mineiro estava com céu limpo, e o lado paulista com muita névoa, simplesmente incrível. Atentar-se que é necessário comprar a entrada pela internet e há horários fixos de entrada.

(Translated by Google) Without a doubt, the best trail in Monte Verde. The area is very well maintained by private initiative, with excellent upkeep, clear signage, security, and guidance before the start of the trail, making the entrance fee worthwhile. It's the most suitable option for families, especially older people and children, as the route is easy and accessible. The Platô trail, while very beautiful, is much steeper, more rugged, and longer, requiring physical preparation and extra attention. I recommend both, but each is suited to a different type of visitor and fitness level. (Original) Sem dúvida, a melhor trilha de Monte Verde. O local é muito bem cuidado pela iniciativa privada, com excelente manutenção, sinalização clara, segurança e orientações antes do início do percurso, o que faz o valor do ingresso valer a pena. É a opção mais indicada para famílias, especialmente pessoas de mais idade e crianças, pois o trajeto é tranquilo e acessível. Já a trilha do Platô, embora muito bonita, é bem mais íngreme, acidentada e longa, exigindo preparo físico e atenção redobrada. Recomendo ambas, mas cada uma para um tipo de visitante e nível de disposição.

(Translated by Google) Moderate trail. The first deck is a good place to rest. And when you reach the top, the view is incredible. It's well worth the climb. (Original) Trilha moderada. O primeiro deck já da para dar uma descansada. E quando chega no topo a vista é incrível. Vale muito a pena a subida.

(Translated by Google) Incredible view!!! The trail is easily accessible, but you need to buy a ticket in advance on the website because visits are scheduled!! Parking is charged, but on a day with little traffic, it's possible to leave your car on the access road to the trail. (Original) Vista incrível!!! Trilha de fácil acesso, mas é necessário comprar ingresso antecipado no site pois a visita é agendada!! O estacionamento é cobrado, mas se for em dia de pouco movimento é possível deixar o carro na estrada de acesso a trilha.

Pretos Waterfall

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Pretos Waterfall is a breathtaking natural wonder that cascades over 500 feet, creating a stunning backdrop for visitors. This picturesque spot offers a delightful swimming area, making it perfect for families and friends looking to enjoy a day outdoors. While the infrastructure around the waterfall includes restaurants, bars, and gift shops—most of which are open on weekends—accessing the site can be tricky without a car since public transport options from downtown Joanopolis are limited.
Lovely place to go with family and friends! If you're not going by car, it may be hard to you get a transport to get from the Joanópolis downtown ( There's no Uber, 99 or any other driver app and the Taxi's may be hard to find)
